Bill Kristol today joined the chorus of conservative voices calling for Mitt Romney to "take the hit" and release his tax records. "He should release the tax returns tomorrow. It's crazy. You gotta release six, eight, 10 years of back tax returns. Take the hit for a day or two." With that niggling detail out of the way, Kristol says Romney can then re-focus the debate with President Obama on the economy. More from the Sunday talk show dial, as per Politico:

Durbin on Jesse Jackson Jr.: "I hope very very soon that Congressman Jackson can tell us what he's facing. I think the people of Illinois are going to embrace anything he's doing to put himself back in the good strong position to return to his family and to Congress."

The fact that Kristol is in favor of it makes me think it might be a bad idea.

romney can release his tax returns...right after we see barack's school records...and whatever holder is hiding...and an explanation of how barack got his social security number would be interesting...maybe an apology for two (TWO!) autobiographies full of 'composites' and lies...?....so many things to release, so little time......
